PHILADELPHIA – Eagles head coach Chip Kelly still isn’t comfortable talking about how his team fits into the NFC East.

The three-day minicamp concluded, Kelly spoke conceptually about tools in the toolbox like the read option series instead of whether the Eagles had enough tools in their toolbox to compete in the division.

“I haven’t watched enough film of Dallas, the Giants, the Redskins,” Kelly said. “And to be honest, I’m not concerned with that right now. I’m concerned with our guys getting better every day and that’s what they’ve done. You’re not going to put the cart before the horse and say, ‘We’re this.’ Everybody had new acquisitions. I don’t know what the rookies for the Cowboys or Redskins are like, what their free agent acquisitions were like. I have no idea. So for me to compare ourselves to somebody else, I have never been that way anyway. We compare ourselves to ourselves. We improve every day and that is the only thing we can count on. We’ve got the guys we’ve got. We can’t start signing free agents in September. We’ve got 90 guys here and we’ll continue to work with them.”

Kelly can sign free agents in September although the pool isn’t as large as it was on the first day of free agency. The Eagles have plenty of salary cap space. More than likely they will add players after they get another look at their needs during training camp and the preseason.

What is in short supply is practice time. While Kelly says he doesn’t make comparisons, time and again he does. The limited practice time in the NFL is a perfect example. Kelly frequently talks about having more offseason practice time at Oregon than in the NFL. It’s a reminder of what he was then and what he is now in this, his first season in the NFL.

“We had more practices in the spring than you do in the NFL,” Kelly said. “We had 13 opportunities here … and a lot more limited. None of them in full pads. In college, you can be in full pads 12 of the 15 days. So sometimes in college you get more opportunities to do evaluations. And that’s why I know we get a lot of questions about the depth chart. But it would be unfair for anybody to make a depth chart when we don’t have any pads on.”

The day the depth chart comes out is the day you’ll have a reasonable idea of how Kelly feels about the Eagles, who he says have a ton of work ahead from the coaches to the players.

The quarterback position is a pretty good snapshot of where the Eagles now as they break until training camp starts the third week of July.

Kelly won’t commit to veteran Michael Vick or Nick Foles, who have gotten most of the snaps with the first-team offense. He wants to see how they function when the shoulder pads are on, the hitting begins and tempo reaches another level at camp.

Vague was the word when Kelly described what he learned about Vick and Foles during the offseason work.

“Kind of what I thought,” Kelly said. “They’re both coachable. They both want to win. They’re both here as many hours as they possibly can be here. They both really work at the game and want to get better. Doesn’t matter how long Mike’s been in the league or Nick or what systems he’s come from. They’re both really wrapping around what (quarterbacks coach) Billy Lazor and (offensive coordinator) Pat Shurmur are teaching them.”

Above all, the Eagles accomplished what Kelly hoped to do to this point. And that’s to improve daily.

“There are a lot of new things for us, for everything they put in, schemes, personnel, and going through all the different scenarios,” Kelly said. “So you’ve got to put them in and coach them on tape. We’ve got real good film today. … We’ll clean up some things. A lot of good scenarios came up in the two minute drill there that we’ve got to coach up and talk to those guys about before they take off here. I’m real happy with where they are and where I expect them to be. I didn’t have any expectations going in. My expectations were that they improve every day and I feel like they’ve improved every day.”

NOTES: Defensive lineman Bennie Logan, the third-round pick out of LSU, signed a four-year deal with the Eagles. Only first-round choice Lane Johnson and fourth-rounder Matt Barkley are unsigned … Nose tackle Isaac Sopoaga was excused from the entire minicamp due to a death in the family. He’s expected to be back for training camp … Rookie safety Earl Wolff, the fifth-round pick out of North Carolina State, has “got a good grasp” of what the Eagles are doing according to Kelly. “I think he’s picked it up pretty good,” Kelly said. “But I think he’s got a good grasp. … We’ll see, and finally get an evaluation and put the pads on him.” Wolff (5-11, 209) got a share of snaps with the first-team defense during minicamp … In case you were wondering, Kelly said about two-thirds of the offense has been installed. He didn’t say which one-third was left to teach.
